About Lining The Style | Cozy Gifts & Everyday Essentials

Our Story

LiningTheStyle was born between two coastlines—the vibrant energy of Guayaquil, Ecuador and the sunlit calm of Clearwater, Florida. Our founder, a Christian creative and small-business owner, started with a simple conviction: style should serve purpose. What began as a search for better everyday tees has grown into a collection of premium basics—oversized t-shirts, polos, hoodies, and sweatshirts—that pair comfort with quiet confidence.

Growing up in Guayaquil means color, family, and resilience. Building a business in Clearwater means service, precision, and community. LiningTheStyle is the thread between those worlds: minimal silhouettes with soul, made for the rhythm of real life—work, weekend, and worship.

Lining The Style is a small online gift shop focused on cozy apparel, home essentials, and small everyday gifts—built for people who want comfort, quality, and meaning in what they wear and give.

What We Make

We design premium basics you’ll reach for on repeat. Our signature oversized tee anchors the line: heavier fabrics that drape cleanly, a fit that flatters a range of bodies, and colors that mix effortlessly. Every piece is built around three principles:

Fabric first: dependable weights, soft hand-feel, breathability, and shape retention.
Consistency: sizing that stays consistent from color to color and season to season.
Versatility: pieces that pair across outfits—layered or alone, dressed up or down.

What We Believe

LiningTheStyle is guided by the founder’s Christian faith—translated into everyday practices:

Integrity: clear communication, fair pricing, and products that match the photos.
Excellence: obsessive fit checks, fabric testing, and quality control you can feel.
Love your neighbor: serve customers well, treat partners fairly, and give back locally.

Clothes won’t change the world, but the people who wear them will. Our job is to make garments that don’t get in your way—that help you show up with purpose.

Ecuador–Florida, In Every Stitch

Ecuador gave us warmth, hospitality, and boldness. Florida sharpened our craft and our service mindset. We design with that dual heritage in mind: minimal, modern, and approachable, with attention to the small details that make a garment feel “right” the moment you put it on.

Craft & Quality Standards

Materials: we prioritize heavier cottons and blends that balance durability with breathability. Each fabric is tested for shrinkage, colorfastness, and pilling.
Pattern & fit: our oversized blocks are graded to preserve proportions across sizes—shoulders, sleeve length, and body drape remain intentional, not sloppy.
Color & dye: neutral-leaning palettes (sand, charcoal, off-white) plus seasonal drops. We aim for repeatable dye lots so your favorite shade stays your favorite.
Finishing: reinforced seams, tidy hems, and labels that don’t itch. Care guides accompany each product page to help you extend garment life.

Responsible Choices

Stewardship matters. We favor durable construction over disposability, thoughtful packaging, and right-sized inventory. We continually evaluate mills and partners, aiming for responsible materials and clear traceability. It’s a journey; transparency and incremental improvement are our compass.

Community, Giving & Local Roots

We are a Clearwater brand with Ecuadorian roots. Community is not a slogan; it’s a calendar line item. We support local initiatives around education, family assistance, and relief—especially those serving Latino and immigrant communities. We also champion small creators and photographers, collaborating on campaigns and features that highlight the talent around us.

A Note from the Founder

“I grew up in Guayaquil, where family is everything and a good shirt can carry you from morning to night. When I moved to Clearwater, I learned how to build with patience—one decision, one stitch at a time. LiningTheStyle exists to make everyday dressing simpler and more intentional. My faith shapes how I work: be honest, do excellent work, and serve people well. Thanks for being here and for wearing these pieces into your own story.”
